I think all parents were nervous about how cold Halloween was going to be this year. Although it was definitely cold, especially compared to last year's beautiful weather, we had a fabulous Halloween!
Jacob had preschool in the morning, followed by some ghost-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches. Then, we loaded up and headed to see the Wiley clan for some trick-or-treating in their area. We got to see the police and fire stations, and were lucky enough to get to see the fire trucks!
I didn't have my camera with me when we had all of the kids together, so this one is missing the cute little June (who isn't so little anymore - walking around like crazy and is the sweetest little girl ever!). But these boys had so much fun running around and getting to play together on Halloween. Of course, Joshua was only happy because he was able to eat his sucker the entire time, resulting in red goo all over the front of his Jake costume.
Jacob in the fire truck. Joshua didn't want to get in, and just kept saying "no" every time I tried to put him up there.
This is Joshua demanding I open his sucker. He loves suckers more than anything, and just kept screaming "open!" and pouting until I opened it up.
The boys running in between buildings - nothing like Spider Man, Batman and Bumblebee running off together! Our little Jake was pulling up the rear, content with his sucker and in no hurry to continue.
We headed back to the Wiley's house to play for a while and then headed to my parents' house for some dinner and trick-or-treating. We always go with their neighbors and her grandkids. Jacob looks forward to it every year, and really loves having a group of kids to run around with. He also thinks this little girl is pretty and adores her.
Joshua cooperating for pictures this year - such a change from last year when he wasn't able to eat candy yet and we pushed him in the stroller for the most part of the night!
Jacob, Amaya and Jackson would not move from this spot the entire time we were waiting to go trick-or-treating. So funny!
Going through Jacob's candy to take out the stuff that he couldn't have. He chose a piece of candy to eat - ironically a very hard to chew piece of taffy-like candy. He didn't like it so much, so we let him have some M&M's, too.
Joshua with yet another sucker! This boy is just nuts about those things!
Such a wonderful night with the boys, and so lucky we got to get some trick-or-treating in despite the cold weather. Joshua went back early with my mom, and Jacob did a little more of the neighborhood and then we hitched a ride back once Jacob looked exhausted and making us carry his pumpkin from house to house.
